The Chrysanthemums
Created for challenge 183 THE CHRYSANTHEMUMS
For the month of November, we chose a theme from literature. The chosen author was the North American John Steinbeck with his short story THE CHRYSANTHEMUMS. The author tells us a prosaic story of a couple of ranchers, but it is his style of narration that makes it all so interesting. Each paragraph of his short story can inspire us to create an artistic creation, so vivid is his narrative and so engaging is his style.

Inspired by this extract from The Crysanthemums by John Steinbeck
“Elisa… was thirty-five…. In her gardening costume, a man’s black hat… a figured print dress almost completely covered by a big corduroy apron… leather gloves… She was cutting down the old year’s chrysanthemum stalks with a pair of short and powerful scissors…
Behind her stood the neat white farm house with red geraniums close-banked around it as high as the windows…”
